Golf practice assembly with multi target and trajectory analysis

ABSTRACT

A golf practice assembly includes a target having a first surface which has three target areas displayed thereon and the target areas are located in a vertical axis passing through a center of the first surface. The users use different golf clubs and try to hit the target areas. The lower target area is designed for the lower number of golf club or for shorter distance between the position that the users stand and the first surface. A ball has a second surface which can be attached with the first surface of the golf practice assembly.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a golf practice assembly and theassembly includes a hook-and-loop surface and multiple target areaswhich are designed for different golfing purposes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A conventional golf practice assembly 80 is shown in FIG. 5 andgenerally includes a base 81 with an L-shaped frame 82 which isconnected from a top of the base 81 and a swinging practice device 83 isconnected to the frame 82. The swinging practice device 83 includes aconnection member 84 fixed to the frame 82 and a flexible unit 85 hasone end connected to the connection member 84 and a ball is connected tothe other end of the flexible unit 85. The use practices swinging to hitthe ball. However, the user cannot know how the ball really flies if theball is not connected with a rope.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show another golf practice assembly 90 which includes atarget hanging at a center of a rectangular case by cables connectedbetween the four corners of the target and the case. The target includesa frame 91 and three ring-shape areas 92-94 are displayed on the target.The user may send golf balls to hit the target and check the path and/orangle of flight of the golf ball by the contact point at the threering-shaped areas 92-94. There are two sensing plates 96 separated by afoam member 95 and each sensing plate 96 includes three ring-shapedsensing areas located corresponding to the three ring-shaped areas92-94. A light unit 97 is located on a top of the frame 91 andelectrically connected with the sensing plates 96. When the golf ballhits either one of the ring-shaped areas 92-94, a correspondinginformation is displayed by the light unit 97. The practice assembly 90is expensive and may not be suitable for the beginners. Besides, thegolf balls fly randomly if hit on the case.

The present invention intends to provide a golf practice assembly whichincludes a hook-and-loop surface which has multiple target areas fordifferent purposes and a ball with a hook-and-loop surface can be drivento be connected on the hook-and-loop surface. By the positions that theball is attached on the hook-and-loop surface, the users obtainnecessary information about the swinging.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a golf practice assembly whichcomprises a target having a first surface which has at least two targetareas displayed thereon and the at least two target areas are located ina vertical axis passing through a center of the first surface. A ballhas a second surface which is attached with the first surface of thetarget.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a golfpractice assembly wherein the user uses different golf clubs to send theball to designated target areas and ball can be attached on the surfaceof the golf practice assembly. By this golf practice assembly, the usercan check the real position of the golf ball and the trace of that thegolf ball flies. The information is more real and accurate thatconventional electric golf practice devices.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf practiceassembly wherein the target areas are located for different numbers ofgolf clubs.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a golfpractice assembly wherein the target areas are located for differentdistances between the positions that the user stands and the golfpractice assembly.

The present invention will become more obvious from the followingdescription when taken in connection with the accompanying drawingswhich show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment inaccordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the golf practice assembly of the presentinvention comprises a target 10 which includes a frame 13 and a firstsurface is secured to a space enclosed by the frame 13. The firstsurface is a hook-and-loop surface and has three target areas 121, 122,123 displayed thereon. The target areas 121, 122, 123 are located on avertical axis passing through a center of the first surface. A properdistance is defined between the target areas 121, 122, 123. The threetarget areas 121, 122, 123 are located at a high position, a mediateposition and a low position on the first surface. The target areas 121,122, 123 are located for different numbers of golf clubs. The targetarea 123 at the high position is for a higher number of golf club andthe target area 121 at the low position is for a lower number of golfclub.

A ball 20 has a second surface 21 which is a hook-and-loop surface andcan be attached with the first surface of the target 10.

The ball 20 should be sent to the target area 121 at low position whenusing a lower number of golf club. The ball 20 should be sent to thetarget area 123 at high position when using a higher number of golf clubis used. A standard distance between the player and the golf practiceassembly 10 of the present invention is 2.5 m.

The ball 20 can be attached on the first surface of the golf practiceassembly 10 of the present invention so that the user can check theaccuracy of the path that the ball flies. The positions of the targetareas 121, 122, 123 are obtained via practical tests so that if the ball20 is attached on the desired target area 121/122/123, this means theangle and fly path of the ball 20 is correct. Because the ball 20 isattached on the first surface of the golf practice assembly so that theballs 20 can be easily collected.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show that scenes are displayed on the first surface andthe target areas 121, 122, 123 are located for different positions onthe first surface of the golf practice assembly. If the user stands atthe position “a”, the ball 20 should be sent to the lowest target area121. The position “b” is for the target area 122 and the position “c” isfor the target area 123.

The golf practice assembly of the present invention is easily to bemanufactured and the positions of the target areas 121, 122, 123 are setaccording to results of many times of practical tests so that the userscan easily know how to correct the swings. The golf balls 20 areattached on the target area so that the user is clearly acknowledged thereal positions that that the golf balls 20 are sent. Besides, the usercan obtain all the paths of the golf balls 20 sent by different numbersof golf clubs at a fixed distance from the golf practice assembly.

While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with thepresent invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art thatfurther embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of thepresent invention.
